FRAGO 01/2019: A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority

Our Navy’s strategic direction, focused on Great Power Competition, is sound. This Fragmentary Order is written for senior Navy leaders to simplify, prioritize, and build on the foundation of Design 2.0 issued in December 2018. We will focus our efforts toward Warfighting, Warfighters, and the Future Navy, expanding on the momentum we have gained as a Navy over the past two years guided by both the National Defense Strategy (NDS) and the National Military Strategy (NMS).

Securing the Supply Chain

Supply Corps officers Lt. Cmdr. Blake Dremann and Lt. Cmdr. Michael Kidd are helping develop the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) supply chain security strategy.
